I dont know about others who keep their snakes in tubs (all my snakes are in terrariums), but mine LOVES to climb. I should have named her Curious George... You cant stop her. Shes always on her log, or trying to get under the light, or anywhere she can go. If you take her out you have to watch her like a halk because she'll try and go on some sort of adventure, ontop of pillows, under the bed, ontop of the dogs... Its just fun to watch them dance sometimes. Like I said its usually more visible when they're eating/trying to lunge at the food.

Lots of good advise, as mentioned, get a female! I love both my pastel and my honeybee, so....... go for a bumblebee! But really, get which one you love best, just remember pastels tend to brown out and spiders wobble. They are both great snakes and I couldn't imagine my collection without them both!

As mentioned if you get a pastel get the brightest cleanest yellow you can find, the less orange and specks the better. For a spider, they all wobble to some extent, weither it is a slight shake of the head when stressed or wobbling and corkscrewing all over the place every time they move it just adds to their personality, in my opinion.

I'd get the spider. We got a spider for our first, and while I know the individual BP's personality is more relevant than it's colour, she has been absolutely ace. She has a slight wobble when feeding, but it hasn't stopped her from being voracious. She's eaten everything we've ever given her, super friendly and easy to handle. I'd happily get another spider.
